Chelmsford’s top eateries will be taking part in a new restaurant festival coming to the city in 2018.

The event, organised by Chelmsford City Events, aims to showcase the best of what the city’s restaurants and will include talks, cooking demonstrations, eating challenges and film nights.

The organisers don’t want to reveal who’s signed up just yet, but they have promised that lots of Chelmsford’s tastiest restaurants are taking part.

The festival will be made up of two parts:

Festival Menus

Throughout the festival, participating restaurants will have exclusive, set price ‘Festival menus’ which will showcase certain elements of their restaurant and its cuisine. They will offer either a two-course or three-course menu. It’s hoped this will encourage people to try new foods and restaurants they haven’t tried before.

Festival Experiences

As well as the menus, many of the restaurants taking part will also hold special events throughout the festival including talks, cooking demonstrations, eating challenges, arts nights, film nights and children’s events.
